I'm doing a solo talk on the 2012 doomsday theory and need the basic info that will last about 4 minutes. Try and mention all the theories and Top Contributors, don't hit me with a wall of text that's 100 paragraphs long.
Here's a summary of the main nonsense.
There is no 'ancient prediction' by the Mayans or anyone else. These were all invented in the last 20 years.
There is no Planet X or Nibiru about to pass by. Why don't the fraudsters tell us its current location in the sky, so we can all look at it? You decide.
There will be no rare alignment, either planetary or galactic. When was the last alignment that caused us any problems anyway?
There will be no pole shift. A magnetic pole shift is not imminent and probably tens of thousands of years away. A sudden rotational pole shift is a physical impossibility.
The next solar maximum is expected in mid 2013, not 2012 and is expected to be less intense than the last maximum in 2001.
Other predictions such as the photon belt and Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero are just too silly to bother with.

doomsday news What're the consequences of taking minerals from the Earth as far as the Earth's gravitational pull and orbit?
I think drilling for different things inside the Earth, (oil, gold, etc.) can't be good for the planet. It's like extracting spare parts in a car and then expecting that car to drive the same way.
Am I wrong? What if it takes like... oh, I don't know...2008 years before we feel the effects on a level we can comprehend? Shouldn't we so something about it now, before we are in the stage where we see it on every news channel with a doomsday headline?
Bling bling, and sliver, and metal is great, but... aren't we kind of altering or shifting the Earth's mass? I'm no scientist, but we're messing with gravitons and things we as a scientific community don't even have a handle on yet.
What if, with all our drilling and excavation, we end up doing something so drastic that we can't go back? What then?
Nothing is being removed from the earth. All the metals and minerals that we mine and use in everyday life, and the fossil fuels that we consume stay on the earth so there is no net change in the earth's mass from our mineral and fossil fuel extraction activities. That's the law of conservation of matter - matter can not be created or destroyed. The only exception to this is spacecraft that we are sending outside of the earth's gravitiational field (to Mars for example) but that effect is mathematically impossible to calculate. On top of that, we accumulate space dust as mentioned above.
So to put it in context with your car example, we just move the sparkplugs into the trunk - but on a much smaller scale based on the mass of the earth. There is absolutely no hazard to the earth's gravitational pull and orbit.
But now we need to look at why we are extracting minerals from the earth. Minerals occur naturally and are mined by mining companies to satisfy the demand from society to provide all the things we take for granted - cars, airplanes, computers, even so-called environmentally friendly things like solar panels and hydrogen cells. If it can't be grown, it has to be mined! And even if it is grown, there is machinery that came from mining involved in the growing process.
So then, if science now has 10 scenarios for Doomsday, how is it any different from Gloom & Doom prophecies?
News: Science now has 10 scenarios for Doomsday,
the latest of such 10 being a gamma ray burst: CBC
Religious folk seek Escape from Gloom and Doom prophecies
Science folk seek Escape (to another planet) from Doomsday
Isn't it time we put away horrific things of Law,
whether it be of religious fanatics or of scientific fanatics,
instead of our Doomsday is better than your Doomsday?
True!, religion gets bad press yet its always been accurate..
NIBIRU PLANET X DOOMSDAY 2012 SCENARIO CAUGHT ON CAMERA APPROACHING EARTH!
What does Nibiru(Planet X, "Doomsday Planet") look like?
Is it like Earth? Mars? Pluto? I'm just curious if anybody knows its characteristics.
It is said to be 10 times the size of earth and looks like a cross in the sky.They needed gold from earth to repair their atmosphere so that process must make their planet look like a cross so we must just see the atmosphere only.I hope they are friendly and on time.GREAT QUESTION. BEST WISHES !
